Twin Turbo 427 Escalade Going For 9 Second Pass On LOW BOOST! (LSXcalade Sick Week Days 4-5)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before the first run, perform a burnout to heat the tires for maximum grip. The driver indicates he will drive into the second staging bulb, put the car in neutral, and rev the engine to build some boost before launching. The goal is to get a solid launch and try to achieve a 9-second quarter-mile time without the boost controller fully engaged. The result of the run is a 9.809-second quarter-mile at 140.66 MPH, with a 60-foot time of 1.548 seconds, which is a new personal best for the current setup.

Goal: Achieve a 9-second quarter-mile time without full boost controller engagement

this controller off i saw that guy had some condensation coming out of his exhaust so figured i'd try to blow that out too that was a really really good one i don't know what it was but that 60 foot was the best i have felt in a very long time keep in mind i did not turn the boost controller on that is still gate spring only what it was 980 with the boost controller off hell yes we will take that and take it twice on sunday and take it however many goofy sayings and puns i could come up with if i wasn't too shocked to be coming up with stupid things to say right now this is good we're good we're really onto something here god i can't believe it that's insane it's still 140 miles an hour one five four sixty foot i left with .4 pounds or something because i was kind of looking at the laptop and it takes a while for it to ramp up if i had the boost controller on it would light off you know half a second second and a half faster than that so that was damn good i think we'll put some power in it in bradenton and we'll set a new personal best i'm really thinking that's going to happen this is how much crud came out of
